Supermarkets in Torrevieja
The range of supermarkets and supermarket products to be found in Torrevieja is vast and includes large national chains as well as a selection of international chains. Generally the products on offer in the national supermarkets are very similar and on average the prices don’t differ hugely. Whereas one supermarket’s bakery products may cost more than its rival down the street, its dairy products for instance may be cheaper, so unless you are very thrifty and choose to buy individual products from a variety of supermarkets, your average weekly or monthly shopping bill will be about the same, no matter what supermarket you choose. The same applies to the products on the shelves and it is really just a matter of knowing which supermarket stocks what.
